Japanese market

Hi, kid.

I took the T into town this a.m. and managed to find that Japanese
market in China Town. Got the bread crumbs and then caught a cab to
the fish market. So, for dinner we will have a shrimp/scallop/crab
terrine, cleanse our palate with Bolder Berry Alpine Ice sorbet, and
then enjoy Sweet Shrimp Panko. I also got some asparagus which I am
marinating. I'll bake those cloverleaf rolls you like so much.

Stop by the Sudbury wine shop and get the wine.

No desert. Sorry. Maybe some Grand Marnier? d;o)

Yeah, Grand Marnier!

Dinner at 7. *Don't be late!*

Drive carefully.

I spent two years in Japan, Tom, back in the 50s. I fell in love with
the people, the countryside, and the food....... uhhhhhh except for
the only pizza in Yokohama, found at the Marco Polo in China Town. It
was ok except for the "mystery meat". I lived on osabba (sp), fried
rice, noodles, crab cakes with wasabi relish, and grilled chicken (at
least that's what I think it was). And sake, lotsa sake, preferably
warm. And suchi. Wish I could go back some day.

And Kobe Steak. In those days you could get a Kobe Steak at good
restaurants in Yokohama and Tokyo, and it was only about $12. It's
probably $120 today. Cut it with a fork, and juicy, juicy, juicy.
Nothing in the States can compare.

And cab drivers..... give them $1 and they let you drive! Right hand
drive on the left side of the road.

And the women....... Some of the most beautiful little creatures in
the world. "watashiwa a-not-eye-o eye-ishi-mus"

Great story Dave, I married a Japanese gal from Yokohama who's father was
stationed at the Navy base there. I never used to eat Japanese food until I
met her, and fell in love with it. The first time I tasted wasabi, I thought
it was avocado and plopped a big glob in my mouth...I swear I saw my
nostrils without looking in the mirror.

I did the same at a pot-luck dinner, on campus, several years ago. I
thought, what with the Mexican foods in the same area, that the bright green
stuff must be a guacamole dip...................It sure as HELL liked to
have choked me to death, and don't try to drown it with water!

Op

Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

That was supposed to be an e-mail to my wife.

Then it could have been a WHOLE LOT worse!

Enjoy dinner!

Coincidentally, I was just sent this by my sister:

A Minnesota couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic
schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules, so
the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his
wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room,
so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally
left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his
error, sent the email. Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had
just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who
was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to
check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's
son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the
computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2004
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now
and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just
arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been
prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!

Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here

As soon as I read it, I knew there was a "D'oh!" to follow. g
